[C320-list] Globe Drivesaver

[Rod Boer]

Hi Jeff,

One of the guys in dry dock with me has been trying to convince me to by a 
flexible coupling which he indicated reduces vibration.  The flexible 
couplings are relatively expensive.  His was between $300 and $400.  When I 
mentioned the drivesaver he indicated that it wasn't a flexible coupling and 
didn't do anything to reduce vibration.
